    Hi,

    You can still send that letter if you feel it is needed as evidence. Though it may not get through quickly enough before the decision maker looks at the report.

    The letter says not to contact them because the phone lines get clogged up with people asking whether their decision has been made or not. That makes it difficult for people with more urgent PIP queries to get through. However there is nothing actually stopping you sending post or calling where you feel it is necessary.
